| Message | OOC: Article 1 being the quotas based on nationality? I wouldn't ask only that the articles used to move around, if I recall correctly. That's really one of the most interesting articles I considered anyway, since we could actually hammer out the quotas through legislation. I'm willing to separate it from the rest. |

| Message | With Quanzar considering militarizing itself in order to threaten Solentian peace (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=235233), this bill becomes all the more imperative. We must ensure that our foreign counterparts may not threaten our national security by outpacing our military. David Canton |
